Today, we’re releasing free public OA.Reports for thousands of major research funders to help discover publications they’ve funded, understand how open their research is, and increase the impact of their investments.

Today, we’re happy to announce that you can join the OA.Report for libraries pilot! If you’re interested in joining: read on and get in touch! Get in touch 💡 About OA.Report OA.Report is an open-source tool that identifies research outputs organizations have supported, analyzes their openness (including OA policy compliance), and then streamlines taking action to make results more open.

Hi everyone, did you ever wonder how FAIR data is put into practice? This week I went down the rabbit hole and what I brought back is the start of a new series to unravel the many FAIR data initiatives . There are also some good news for (Belgian) FAIR data in my work update!

We’re thrilled to share that Wellcome has contracted OA.Report to support data analysis linked to their Open Access Policy! 💡 About OA.Report OA.Report is an open-source tool that identifies research outputs organizations have supported, analyzes their openness (including OA policy compliance), and then streamlines taking action to make results more open.

The Rogue Scholar science blog archive launched in April and I have been busy building out the core features of archiving the full-text of blog posts, establishing a full-text search, and registering DOIs and metadata for all posts. My announced goal was to complete this work by the end of the second quarter.

In January I started the Rogue Scholar blog archive with the slogan "science blogging on steroids", promising to enhance science blogs in important ways. Earlier this month I began DOI registrations for blog posts, and I am well on track to complete this for the included 35 blogs with more than 1,000 blog posts in the next few weeks.

Hi everyone, this week it’s all about hands-on! I will talk about a webinar on trying to fix quality issues in Wikidata by using its ontology. Additionally I will share a few resources around basics and advanced uses of the query language SPARQL that is used to query Linked Data, for example from Wikidata.

With the Resource Description Framework (RDF) you can represent Linked Data as subject-predicate-object triples. But what if you have to represent additional context of those triples? In this Blog post I will briefly introduce the advanced data management feature “named graphs” with two examples: different data source named graphs in the BELTRANS project and different story-contexts for Digital Humanities research.

We’re thrilled to share that The Michael J.Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research (MJFF) has signed up to use OA.Report to help implement its Open Access Policy. 💡 About OA.Report OA.Report is an open-source tool that identifies research outputs organizations have supported, analyzes their openness (including OA policy compliance), and then streamlines taking action to make results more open.

We designed the rOpenSci Champions Program with a mentorship aspect. Mentoring plays a significant role in the growth and development of both mentors and mentees alike.
